Most transportation companies talk about technology, efficiency, and growth. But after more than 50 years in the industry, the lesson is simpler: people, relationships, and the ability to adapt are what keep a business moving forward. Scott Luton speaks with Marcia Taylor, owner and CEO of Bennett Family of Companies, about resilience, leadership, entrepreneurship, and the evolution of transportation. They explore how Bennett grew from 15 trucks and 30 trailers into a diversified transportation and logistics organization, why listening to customers shaped its expansion, how the company has preserved its family culture through decades of growth, and where AI and emerging technology fit into the future of trucking. Marcia explains why diversification helped Bennett navigate changing markets, why AI should support people rather than replace customer and driver relationships, and why leaders must always be developing the next generation. She also shares why professional drivers deserve more recognition, how strong values guide difficult decisions, and why staying close to customers remains one of the best ways to understand what comes next.   This episode is hosted by Scott W.
